Folsom County Prison, Only Not Quite A Prison...

I started the new job last night. It wasn't so bad, so I'm gonna go back. It's actually pretty interesting. I sit behind bulletproof glass at the police station. Good to know it was bulletproof. Seeing how I don't think I'll be risking my life for $8.25/hour. What sort of things will I do? Well, I took some infofrom a woman who had her purse stolen at the Giant Eagle.

I get to input traffic tickets, crash reports (which I did at my old PT job before) and warning tickets. So far, that's all the paperwork I learned. I get to watch all the monitors in the station which will be fun on weekends. Another PT girl said a lot of drunks come in. Fun for me! She also said, mostly people think we are closed weekends so it's dead. I get to sit and surf the net. Not a bad gig I suppose.

Sometimes I'll have to witness someone's miranda rights, and sign a paper. Sometimes I'll haveto "keep an eye" on a criminal on the monitor if an officer has to leave the room. It's pretty fun! I have access to the system that shows all the cars on patrol and where they are headed, on what calls. They come up and go away when they are done.

I also get to listen to the police scanner, and be entertained. "Ten forty niner, we got a pursuit in progress".

I can get in the computer and spy on people's police reports, tickets, and criminal records. I even have the ability to erase records. So um, for a fee, maybe I can erase your record. Only in 3 cities though. And you better make it worth my while. I could lose my job. The phones are recorded. No interesting conversations for me either. Booty.

Im glad you had a good time at work. Im also glad you dont work this weekend (check your email). But, I must tell you that Edwin can only be your mistress [sp] because I am still visioning you as my future wife. (thinking positive gets positive results)

Bianca:working 16 hrs on the wknd vs. working 60 m-f should be easier on me. I got use to that so this should be a cake walk...
